I'm damaged, I'm dirty
I'm beaten, I'm hurting
I'm caught behind these
metronome swipes
of these upside down
windshield wipers
so I can see through these tears
I'm not at all ok
My heart's been burned up in the flame
You put there
now it's ashes
that blew away
when you slammed the door
slemmed it in my face

I'm tired, I'm jaded
I'm lost and sedated
my wrists have a mouth
I can hear them cry out
for mercy
but I don't listen
the razor blade
just nods it's head
he says I'll know better when I'm dead
and the angel whispering in my ear
smiles and says it's for the best

I'm dead, I'm gone
I'm not at home
I'm lost, I'm found
just can't figure it out
my limbs are stiff
and made of wood
I'd carve myself a smile
if I could
I'm gone
I'm gone
I'm gone
I'm gone...

Love is a rose I cannot keep
It's always just outside my reach
the blossom always smell so sweet
but I can't hold on
it's thorns just cut too deep

I live and I'm rotting
I'm lost and forgotten
